Shazaaam Adapter for the Keywiz40
Tony555:
Hi everyone. I have 46 buttons on my Control Panel (and the Keywiz only allows 40). This obviously means I need 6 buttons to have the Shazaaam feature.
I just ordered a few Shazaaam adapters from Randy at GGG. I am just trying to get my head around how they work. I have made a diagram that I THINK is right. In this diagram, Player 1, 2 and 3 would have the Shazaaam feature. Does my diagram make sense?
Thanks

Here's a diagram from the advanced wiring techniques page on GGG.
The adapter contains the two diodes.
The P1 and P2 buttons in your diagram correspond with the two switches on the right.
As shown in your diagram, P1 and P2 button would output the alternate functions instead of the standard "1" and "2".
Wire your P1 button like X and P2 button like Y and you'll be good to go.

Thanks Scott....
It looks like this is the same setup as my diagram?? Looks like my understanding was correct. Thanks again...

The center of the adapter connects to the NO and two "legs" are the wire at the left side of the diodes.
Once again, this is for the alternate function, not Player 1 start -- unless you change the default keymap.

Thanks Scott. I am running leaf buttons (So I didn't worry about NO and NC etc in my diagram :laugh: I also didn't worry about the ground in my diagram)
I was planning on changing the keymap with the Keywiz software. I just haven't made my mind up as to what 6 buttons are going to use the Shazaaam function. I was thinking:
1. 2up
2. 3up
3. 4up
4. P2 Start
5. P3 Start
6 P4 Start
The reason for this is becasue these buttons are only clicked once or twice during a game (hardly ever used).
My 46 buttons include
Cancel and Pause (2 Buttons)
Player 1-4 Credit and Start (8 Buttons)
Player 1 and 2 have 4 Joystick Controls and 6 Buttons (10 Buttons each)
Player 3 and 4 have 4 joystick controls and 4 buttons (8 Buttons each)
